Freakin out a bit cause I am having trouble finding good pics of what diff worms look like...you wouldn;t think it would be that hard on the internet!
Anyways, yesterday after Oakley pooped, I noticed a little white thing hanging off the hairs around his butt...
It had a bit of a yellowish tinge & was about {---} long, flatish & about a cm wide. Tapered on both ends. Anyways, I went & looked at his poop & didn't notice anything else...so I kinda shrugged it off thinking it was something else (he had just run through the bushed after...)
Looked at another poop yesterday...nothing.
This morning looked again & the IDENTICAL looking thing was neatly laying on top (not in...) of his poop. So I have seen 2 so far...neither have been moving at all though.
Is it tapeworm? The pics make them seem so long...these 2 sightings were just so identical...I wasn't sure if the segments tended to be the exact same size.
He has been itching pretty bad too for awhile (he has been on & off itchy for a few weeks now...)...it just seemed to get worse in the past day tho.
Do I need to go to the vet today?? Is this an emergency situation or anything???
